behind time and running at the rate OF
about thirty-dve miles an hour. When
within few reds Of the depot five OF the
SIX cars in the train were thrown from
the track by q broken wheel under the
baggage Car. The train consisted of An
engine, express, baggage, smoking, day
coach and two sleepinR cars. The engine
and express car kept on the main track,
but the baggage car was thrown against
the engine OF the local west
bound freight train, which had jusi
pulled In and was standing on the Wesi
bound main track. The freight engine
Was thrown on its side and completely
wrecked. The baggage car, smoking
car and day coach Immediately took fire
and were consumed. When the Carl

q man burned to crisp was found, the
only means OF Identification being the
letters U. 8. on his cap. An hour later
half OF the burned corpse OF Mr.. jerks OF
